AN OPEN QUESTION.


Under the above headline. the Des-
eret News takes the ground that il il
yet questionable as to whether the
Anti.Mormon bill has become u law
or not. 1t says there is considerable
discussion over the matter In Salt
Lake and adds: "This difference Of
opinion is not confined to Utah; II Ia
the subject of dispute in Washington.
as we learn by telegraph. The matter
is considered settled here by some, in
consequence Of dispatch from Attor-
ney-General Garland, who, in answer
to the question from Chairman Carl.
ton, of the Utah commission, on Fri
day: Has the Utah bill become u
law?" replied in the Affirmative.
Mr.. Garland IL as likely to know as
anybody, and it is just possible tbs.
he may have erred in the same man
ner as it is thought the agent of the
Associated Press erred.
The Constitution provides:
II any bill shall not be returned by
the President within ten days-Sun-
days excepted after II shall have been
presented TO him, the same shall be a
law In like manner rs II he had signed
IL, unless the Congress by their ad-
tournament snall prevent its return. in
which case { shall not become = law.
"The question then turns on the
time wher the President received the
bill from the Senate. 1t has been pos
itively stated that the bill was not
sent to him until Monday, February
2lst. On the other hand 1t is claimed
that il was engrossed !and forwarded
to him on Saturday, February 18th.
If the latter statement Ia correct the
argument 10 at an end; the bill has be-
come a law with out the Presiden q
signature. But ifit did not reach him
until Monday, the question is still
open.
'Some claim that II the bill was
sent to the President at any time be-
fore midnight on Monday, II became
q law, because Monday is counted for
one day In ten. Others. and among
them men Of legal learning, and ac-
quainted with parliamentary ussges,
are emphatic in the opinion that Tues
day was the first day after the bill was
presented to the President presuming
IL went to him on Monday, and that
the ten days did not expire until mid.
night Of March the 4tb. The adjourn
ment of Congress at noon on that day
would thus leave the bill out, and IL
would be void without the Presidents :
signature.
up to this writing We have not
been able to obtain u definite answer
~ to the exact time when the bill was
presented to President Cleveland, and
30 we regard the question as not yet
finally settled"

people is not dead and simply needs an effort on somebody's part to arouse 1t from apparent apathy. The old officers of fhe League are at hand-the people, if led, are ready to follow Who makes the first moves Who engage in the work of revival! The day may not be far off when Water bury in the roll call will be asked: What did you do in the hour of trial to ward off distributive share of the odium attaching to failure, or claim your part in the glory surrounding the record of lreland's re- demptions Members of the Old League of our City-Irishmen and women of Irish birth or descent-C Citizens of all nationali- ties in sympathy with oppressed peoples, we want to hear of and from you in this struggle for land and life.

WHAT arc the Irish of Waterbury dOi

WHAT are the Irish of Waterbury doing for Ireland in this, the great crisis of her destiny? There was time when our City held proud position on the roll of the Irish National League-when it was heard from in Councils and Conventions in moral sympathy and in material support, for the cause of the oppressed people at home and when great and revered name lent to the League all the influence of personal character and priestly prominence. The Reverend Father Walsh is unhappily gone from us; his death was and is mourned in the light of a family and friendly bereave- ment as well as of patriotic loss; but surely his loving sympathies for the land of his labors and loyalty have not died with him; and the legacy of example which he left to us should not so soon or so easily be forgotten. We feel assured the spirit of the

again to memory the somewhat discourag- ing events of failures in other places. But still we persevered; the discouragements did not discourage-the failures had no power to frighten; as stated in our initial number our expectations of success were based on the condition of deserving 1t. Our first issue was satisfaction to our selves and surprise to our friends; we have endeavored to keep up the record if | not to beat it. In every circle in the city | l-Republican as well as Democratic-ac l knowledgment is made that at one bound 1 we have conquered public favor; and our l brethren of the State press-and of jour | nals outside the State-have extended to us welcoming hand with no niggard gen | erosity.
 l We do not desire to be boastful, although we confess to the possession of a little 1 pride in results so far. This self-satisfac- l tion will act as an incentive to continued and greater efforts in the public service; the approval of the general public express ed in sentimental tribute is another encour- agement to zeal: but after all neither self
 approval nor the most unstinted of verbal compliment will sufficiently equip and sus- 1 tain us for the mission we have entered on. The party and the interests in whose ad- vocacy we have undertaken to serve, must not be unmindful of the servitor. If we take in 8 large clientele, there must be a corresponding practical recognition of the counsel; if we encounter and incur labor and costs, there should be the requital ot legitimate patronage. We have no com

ANOTHER WORD OF HOPE.

Our experimental days have passed, and this evening we commence the second week of the EVENING DEMOCRAT. Our success has surprised ourselves. We were sustained by earnest purpose and faithful spirit in the conception of our venture in daily iournalism-o hopes were high and our prospects not unfattering; but still we had wildly before us all the difficulties of the situation, and there came up now and
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1887-12-12

''HEAR the other side'' is time honored maxim The DEMOCRAT has no desire or design to violate the principle of fair play involved in the appeal. On Friday we published brief statement and commen- ta, in relation to the duty of public bod ies in conservation of public funds; and in special reference to the award of a contract to the highest bidder' by the Fire Com missioners. There was in this matter of award to the "highest" bidder a charge, by implication, of personal or political fla voritism. We knew nothing of the transac tion; had no interest whatever in the par ties at either side, and merely told the tale as it was told to us with credible amount of circumstantiality. We have received { letter, printed in our columns to-day, from Fire Commissioner Connolly showing that there may be substantial reasons-and al leging that there were-why the loves bidder for supply or service should no necessarily be selected. There is nothing in the controversy to excite ill-feeling.

THERE are daily Dynamite ScareS in LO

THERE are daily Dynamite scares in Lon don. Irish-American emissaries are charged with deep designs ''against Her Majesty's peace and the Statutes, as the for mula of indictment runs; but there is grave suspicion that all these matters have their manufacture in the Detective department of Scotland Yard; and that the object is the alienation of British sympathy from the Irish Cause, and the justification be- fore the world of Balfour's brutal proceed ings under the new Crimes Act. Every succeeding day sends us the cable flashes
 of arrests of members of Parliament in the Irish National interests; and before the
 session opens at St Stephens, Westmins- ter, it is not improbable that the Irish jails will be occupied by the representa- | tives of the people and that no voice will be left in the halls of legislation to bring l the government to account for it's high
 handed tyranny. Well, perhaps, so much 1 the better. It will all the sooner solve the l problem of what Ireland has to expect from the tender mercies of her ancient enemy.

WHAT do our Connecticut Tobacco grow CTS say? MT. Blaine in his informal mes sage, through that New York "Tribune" interview, classified Tobacco as among the necessaries of life-as belonging to the order of things essential to the support of human existence and entitled to range with bread and meat, salt, sugar, coffee, tea, etc. The dealers in the weed in the Elm pire City regard MT. Blaine's estimate as a sensational piece of fiction. They claim for tobacco the dignity of a luxury, and will not have it degraded to the dull cate gory of domestic need. The New York "Times' publishes the views of several prominent merchants in the trade. All are pronouncedly against the suggestions on the subject of the Presidential aspirant. In the multitude of opinions given-all more or less against Blaines views-the one most signifcant-and ill the public in terest practical-is that of Lazano, Pen das & Co.,, who say that the removal of the Internal Revenue Tax would make nc difference in the price realized by the pro- ducer or paid by the consumer.

How They Stand.

1t is the universal testimony of real
estate dealers that mortgages are being
paid up this year quite as well as they
ever have been before in this city, not
withstanding the fact that the money
market has been somewhat tight
ened up. II has been the universal
belief that within year or two very
large number of people have made pur-
chases of real estate, making as small
payments as possible down, and leaving
as much as possible for the future, and
that when the time came to meet these
deferred payments the purchaser would
not be able to pay them. Undoubtedly
great deal of property was bought
in this way, and without doubt great
many purchasers have been disap-
pointed III not having been able to sell
before any of the deferred payments be-
came due. Still, though buyers have
failed in this respect, it is not the fact
that they have failed to meet their obi
cations. These who are in the habit of
dealing in mortgages are authority for
the statement that it is remarkable how
promptly this class of obligations are
being discharged. This, too, has been
done In spite of the tightness with
which the brakes were put down on the
money market. The prediction that a
great many mortgages would be fore
closed has not been fulfilled, and in
spite of the cr0akers. the tight money
market and the quiet real estate mar
ket, purchasers have thus far been able
to hold their property and meet all de-
layed payments. 1t may also be stated
that purchasers have, in some instances,
gone even beyond this, and have actu-
ally paid up mortgages before they were
due and thus secured their release.

been fair during the week, and trade is

NJ. A. Bigford & Colt looks as
though we would have more active
market after the 1st of January.
Fallihee & HallOway-The real estate
market is active enough for this season
of the year, and we see no reason at all
for being dissatisfied.
III. S. Fairchild & SOn-The past week
has not been active in point of tIansac-
lions made. but has shown still in
creaSing inquiry. Everything would
seem to indicate busy winter and
spring., and speculation In the more
staple properties. The market Of the
preceding two years has actually
pushed outside values beyond that of
properties Immediately within the set
tied districts. So soon as the public
opens its eyes to this fact, and people
are now beginning to appreciate it,
there will be an immense movement in
inside property. Midway property is,
of course, beyend the above comparison,
for no real estate can be more solid than
that between two growing cities.
A. B. Wilgus d Cove have sold
COON deal in West st. Paul, especially
ON the flats, and have been fairly active.
Stone & MOrton-We have just closed
several deals in various parts of town.
Business is still moving along.

dition than it has been for some weeks.

in the morning at the wholesale house,
where he remains for three hours. Then
he spends an hour at the retail store
and returns TO the former for another
hour. He lunches at the Chicago

business men. The early afternoon
hours are again spent at the wholesale

Marshall Field believes in young men.
There is not a gray-haired man in any
responsible position in his vast business.
All his chiefs of departments have
grown up with the firm, some from the
humble positions of messengers and
p0rters. He was one of the founders
of the manual training school, and at
one time quite active in the affairs OF

there is as little ostentatiOn in his re-
ligiOn as there is in anything else con-
nected with his affairs. Politically he
is a Democrat.
Marshall Fields wealth is an unknown
quantity. Besides Potter Palmer and
Levi Il. Letter he is the largest individ-
uai holder of choice real estate. His
holdings cannot be less than 5000, 900.

his interest in the Merchants Loan and

situations of consequence, Is matter OF
mere guess work. One may strike the
mark by saying Marshall Field is worth
twenty millions, and he might not be
much amisS by claiming double that
sum. He is a liberal giver, but
does not like to have it known.
The Art Institute, Historical So
ciety, Relief and Aid society, Musical
Festival association, manual training
school. Young Mems Christian aSSocia-
ton. and the Lord only knows what
other institutions, always count on
Marshall Field, but his name must not
be mentioned. He is an attentive
newspaper reader, but abhors neWspa-
per nOtoriety. He knows little relaXa-
ton himself, but is lenient to his EN-
plOyeS.
To wind up this complete sketch of
him with queer, but expressive re-
mark of his former partner, Potter
Palmer: Marshall Field is so well
known that nobody can give any lntOr-
nation about him."
